Luton Town returned to England’s top flight for the first time since 1992 with a penalty shootout victory over Coventry City in the Championship play-off final at Wembley on Saturday. For the third time this season, Coventry and Luton could not be separated after 90 minutes. As in both regular season meetings, Luton took the lead only to be pegged back by the resurgent Sky Blues.

German police raided 15 properties linked to the Last Generation climate activist group Wednesday, seizing assets as part of an investigation into its finances BERLIN -- German police raided 15 properties linked to the Last Generation climate activist group Wednesday, seizing assets as part of an investigation into its finances in a sign of growing impatience with disruptive protest tactics also seen in other European countries. Members of the group have repeatedly blocked roads across Germany in an effort to pressure the government to take more drastic action against climate change. In recent weeks, they have brought traffic to a halt on an almost daily basis in Berlin, gluing themselves to busy intersections and highways. Over the past year, they have also targeted various artworks and exhibits. The raids, ordered by Munich prosecutors, come days after Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that he thought it was “completely nutty to somehow stick yourself to a painting or on the street." ...
